The Sun dont always shine - Newcastle to York - IC225
Experience a night time run. The image quality is not good, (a 90's camcorder and a dry windscreen washer didn't help), but turn up the volume and adjust brightness to get a true black. We start on the King Edward Bridge Newcastle, a quick manual focus, a check of my stops several times, then off we go. The motion of the camera really shows the state of the track. Again, forgive me for the end bit, editing is all new to me.

And thanks for all the response...................This is the outward journey, not so bad , but as we gain altitude you will see snow frozen in the trees and bushes. Icy Rails .. Heart in mouth job when wanting to slow down, but I kept control. Much worse on the w...

Heaton Depot by Night-1992
มุมมอง 4.5K7 ปีที่แล้ว
My first attempt with a video camera. Clips of a night shift at Heaton Depot, located just north of Newcastle, where East Coast Trains are washed, maintained and cleaned. The Shunter I was working with is the late John White, sadly missed.

MK1V- DVT Leading, (DVT is a driving van trailer, loco to the rear of train). Stopping at Durham Darlington Northallerton and York.

There was only one portion of line at 140 mph, from Stoke Tunnel t...

MK1V DVT Leading.....A memorable return trip. Very Cautious Handling from Loch Cobinshaw because of the falling gradient. Disturbed snow builds up on the brake rigging and freezes, so its essential to keep the brake working, to create heat and melt the snow. In this case I left the brake in the first notch much of the way.
